News for Week Ending Friday, Aug 2, 2019


1.   To promote their new line of denim clothing, Kendall and Kylie Jenner appear in a Macy’s ad wearing only jeans and nothing else.  ***   I believe their message is this: If you buy our bottoms, you can’t afford a top.

2.   A Delta pilot was removed as his flight was about to depart because of signs that he was drunk.  ***   In accordance with federal regulations, authorities overlooked his slurred speech and rambling commentary, but had to step in when he started to forget the punchlines to all his jokes.

3.   In Lake Worth, Florida, a man parked his electric Tesla on a stranger’s lawn without permission and plugged in the car overnight to re-charge.  ***   Having dealt with Tesla owners before, police asked residents to be on the lookout for someone looking excessively smug.

4.   British police made several arrests after a violent brawl broke out on the cruise ship Britannia.  ***  A cruise line spokesman apologized for the disruption and said proper Brits would have resolved their differences with a lively game of shuffleboard.

5.   North Korea has just released a photo of Kim Jong Un posing near a new submarine.   ***  It’s apparently an amazing leap in technology—the picture was taken at the DMZ with the periscope sticking up through the dirt.
